I need some help getting a scanned image into an OpenOffice document without the black speckled background. This is what I did:
1. Used XSANE 0.97 to scan the signature form my HP G95 printer/scanner. 2. Saved as tiff file. 3. Opened the tiff file in The Gimp 2.2 4. Cut the signature out of the scanned image and pasted it into a new Gimp document (so it would not be full page but just a small block). 5. Saved the document as a jpg 6. Inserted the jpg into my OpenOffice 2.0 document. 7. Printed the page with the signature on the G95 and the signature has black speckles around it. I tried setting the background to white in the saved signature file (step 5) but I still get the black speckles. They do not show up on the screen. I think I need a transparent background in the signature file, but I do not know how to make it transparent. Thanks for any help or advice you can give me. -- Mark Phillips Phillips Marketing, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] 602 524-0376 480 945-9197 fax _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
